Sabertooth Tiger - Makeup Tutorial

Here is the tutorial for the look!

give it a likey, help a sabertooth tiger like me out ;)

I started with a dark orange paint for the base.
I used an airbrush but you can also use other paints, with brushes and sponges

if more parts of your body are going to be visible, it's best to paint them as well.
i painted the outer parts orange as well, and used white paint for my neck and inner chest.
also add a bit of white paint on your chin and aside from your nose

to fill in the nose i used a baby pink colour, and outlined it with a small stroke of black paint
using the black paint i also created a line going downwards from the centre of my nose connecting to my lip

to create a base for the whiskers use a semi-small brush and white paint.

with quick short strokes you paint outwards from your nose. this will create a more fur-like look

To look more like a sabertooth tiger we're going to have to go full out with the eyliner

outline your entire eye, and also fill in the lid (to keep this from creasing you can add matte black eyeshadow on top of it)

also don't forget to extend the inner and outer corner of your eye

with black paint extend the ends of your lips (as shown in the photo I just don't know how to explain this hehe)

and draw 2 lines at both sides downwards to create the teeth

I used white bodypaint to fill in the teeth. because you're going with white over another (darker) colour, it's best to add mutiple layers. otherwise the colour will fade.

i also added a bit more black between the teeth to connect them

Take a fan brush and dip this in very wet facepaint. with quick outerwards strokes use this all over your face

with a lot of layering, this will look very realistic. I used both white and brown facepaint for this step

a sabertooth tiger has a different pattern than a siberian tiger. a sabertooth tiger has different brown tones of fur. so for the stripes I went with white facepaint and brown eyeshadow. the brown shadow is easy to blend and will soften the entire effect.

I still used facepaint for the white stripes because again, i'm going with white over a darker colour

my nose is way too narrow and human like. So to broaden it, i used a dark brown eyeshadow and shaded outwards along the sides of my nose, leaving quite some space between my actual nose and the shading

to darken up the eyes some more I used a black pencil liner

this is of course optional, but it does give an extra WOW to the look

I went with these yellow contacts to bring my tiger some more to life
